Starting this coming week, we will be incorporating skate workouts into the mix, as promised.   I'm leaning to this format:

<strong><em>Friday morning:  skate instruction (will cancel if  temperatures are too cold to skate).  It will start at 10:00 or so, with 90 minutes of easy drills at P8 for those who are new or relatively new to skating.  If you are also attending the afternoon session, bring a bag lunch to eat at my house or at the visitor's center (or buy lunch).  </em></strong>

<strong><em>Friday afternoon:  classic workout (will switch to skate if conditions are poor for classic).   This will be a heavy duty workout for the more serious among us.  For those who have done skating in the morning, a second  option is to go for a group ski and accumulate some mileage without undo stress and fatigue. </em> </strong>

I'm going to post a few polls in a bit.  In the meantime, let me know your thoughts on this.  Is this a good format, or should we switch it around each Friday with classic in the morning on alternate Fridays?    How many of you do not skate at all?  (if not, you really should consider it.  Christmas is around the corner.)   I'll start a Facebook thing going for discussion.
